This is continuing use of civility and sensitivity for censorship. It is one element of the effort to create the feminist-therapeutic state. Forgotten by prominent children of prominent political figures like Chris Cuomo, is that the purpose of the concept of free speech and the First Amendment is to protect offensive speech, speech that you hate. Speech that you like needs no protections. In ancient Athens there were no laws or constitutional amendments protecting free speech. It was a 1200 year tradition supported by the citizens of that democracy. Their contributions to knowledge about humans remain valid today. Misguided universities and journalists promote censorship of unpleasant truths, inhibiting the search for truth in the name of good.

Colin Flaherty, author of
“White Girl Bleed A Lot: The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It,” told WND his channel was suspended for two weeks after he posted a video featuring violence by African-Americans against white children. Flaherty also posted a video of what the author called “black mob violence against a white child.”
“Soon after, YouTube yanked it down: It said it had received complaints that I had violated the YouTube policy against posting ‘shocking, sensational or disrespectful’ videos, especially involving ‘minors participating in a harmful or dangerous activity,’” he told WND. “So YouTube kicked me off for two weeks, though my channel remains open and subscriptions have jumped dramatically.”[. . .]
“White children and adults around the country are victims of black mob violence and black on white crime that is wildly out of proportion. And reporters and public officials ignore, deny, condone, excuse, encourage and even lie about it. That’s what I call ‘shocking.’

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, a civil rights activist, president and founder of the Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), and author of
“Scam: How the Black Leadership Exploits Black America,” said: “The conservative white politicians and media are afraid to discuss black crime due to the fear of being attacked as racist. The white and black liberals won’t discuss it because they want the races to remain divided so they can continue with their agenda of redistributing wealth and taking from whites to give to minorities.”
[. . .]
Peterson believes there is never a good reason not to report black crime, even if such reports are exploited by white racists. He told WND, “Not talking about black crime is allowing the problem to get worse because blacks don’t believe they’re wrong about anything.”
Yet there are increasing efforts by both major media companies and the federal government to manage and possibly even censor the national conversation.
[. . .]
Peterson suggests the government may indeed try to weaken the First Amendment and control public debate.
“We have a dishonest president and government right now and they’re trying to stop anyone who is exposing what they’re doing. This administration uses the IRS and other federal agencies to intimidate and bully American citizens. And what will happen is it will drive the conversation underground and shut down other points of views from getting out to the general public,” he said.
